Babysitting. While this can be considered as a job to many people, but it's only a temporary job. Let's say you babysit around 2 times a week for a total of 10 hours, and you make around $5 - $10 an hour, then you'll be able to make around $50 - $100 a week! It doesn't sounds like a whole lot, but that does sound like it's more then enough to pay for food for about a week if you have a small family or if you live alone. Or you could always use it to pay for your other bills.

Are you good at any subjects that's currently being taught in school? If you know anyone personally who has a child that's currently suffering in a school subject that you're just so happen to be good at, then if the kid's parents known you for a while, and known you well enough to trusts you, then perhaps you could offer to tutor their kid for a bit for a small fee! You'll be able make some money while helping their child out.

Speaking of selling items, are you good at fixing or upgrading things? If so, consider finding things that people are throwing away and doesn't need anymore that you know you could fix up pretty easily and cheaply. In the end if you could fix them up cheap enough, you might be able to sell them them and make quite a bit of money at the same time.

Another possible way is to perhaps ask your family members for help! You could always consider asking your close family members, like your parents or siblings for a short term personal loan. Or perhaps they are willing to even let you have some money without having to pay you back.

Tips

Have you ever considered dropping a phone line? Perhaps you could just use your cell phone all the time instead of paying for a land line.

Try to lower your food bill by not wasting any food or brown bagging it whenever you go to school or work! By brown bagging it, or taking lunch from your home, you can save time and money. Also consider freezing anything you won't be needing for a while, so then you'll have something else for later use.

Turn off your lights and appliances that you aren't using. Even if it's only for 15 minutes, it can still suck power and not mention sucking your hard earned money away from you over time.

Speaking of lights, try using fluorescent bulbs or energy efficient kinds that consumes less energy. You will be able to find them in many stores, such as Wal-mart, perhaps Target, businesses and office stores, etc. Because if you use those energy-wise bulbs, it means lower electric bill for you to pay in the end!

Walk, and don't drive a short distance just because it's more convenient. This is a very obvious tip on saving money. With the gas prices going up, we can't afford to keep filling up our gas tank up all the time so we could drive everywhere we go. Whenever possible, if the place you need to get to is not too far from where you're going, then consider walking or even taking the public transit would be another alternative. Besides, walking is also a good way to get some exercise as well, which is very beneficial for us anyway!
